The Messiah in Judaism (Hebrew:מָשִׁיחַ; mashiach, mashiah, moshiah, or moshiach, "anointed [one]") first appeared as a term in the Hebrew Bible, to describe priests and kings anointed with holy anointing oil. Later on, a belief in the coming of a future Messiah who will bring salvation to Israel and mankind became a central tenet in Judaism, considered virtually a dogma in most traditional sources and Orthodox Judaism at present.

Historical
In Jewish eschatology, the term mashiach, or "Messiah", came to refer to a future Jewish King from the Davidic line, who is expected to be anointed with holy anointing oil and rule the Jewish people during the Messianic Age. The Messiah is often referred to as "King Messiah", or, in Hebrew, מלך משיח (melekh mashiach), and, in Aramaic, malka meshiḥa.
Orthodox views have generally held that the Messiah will be descended from his father through the line of King David, and will gather the Jews back into the Land of Israel, usher in an era of peace, build the Third Temple, father a male heir, re-institute the Sanhedrin, and so on. Jewish tradition alludes to two redeemers, both of whom are called mashiach and are involved in ushering in the Messianic age: Mashiach ben David; and Mashiach ben Yosef. In general, the term Messiah unqualified refers to Mashiach ben David (Messiah, son of David).

FLARe | Jewish Messianism and Post-Rabbinic Culture
Lecture recorded on the 23rd of June, 2021.
The events of the first part of the seventh century – the Persian conquest of Jerusalem, the Byzantine reconquest, and the Muslim triumph over restored Byzantine rule – clearly led some contemporary Jews to believe that the eschaton was at hand. We know this from Jewish apocalyptic works composed during these years as well as from piyyutim (liturgical poems) that express messianic hopes in relation to the events. But these hopes and expectations have their roots in earlier centuries. This lecture will consider the range of evidence for Jewish messianism and eschatology in the period after the completion of the Talmud Yerushalmi and the great Palestinian midrashim in the fifth century, the relation of post-rabbinic expectations to classical rabbi...

The Afterlives of Shabbatai Zvi: A Lecture on the Memory of Heresy
November 18, 2018
YIVO Institute for Jewish Research
Jacob Kronhill Visiting Scholar Lecture
In this lecture, David Biale examines the way 19th and 20th century authors remembered the Sabbatian movement, the great heretical explosion in the Jewish world of the 17th and 18th centuries. Contrary to the impression Gershom Scholem gave, Sabbatianism and especially the figure of Shabbatai Zvi was well known to modern authors, who often exploited the heretical messiah for their own heretical and secular agendas.

Historical
In Jewish eschatology, the term mashiach, or "Messiah", came to refer to a future Jewish King from the Davidic line, who is expected to be anointed with holy anointing oil and rule the Jewish people during the Messianic Age. The Messiah is often referred to as "King Messiah", or, in Hebrew, מלך משיח (melekh mashiach), and, in Aramaic, malka meshiḥa.
Orthodox views have generally held that the Messiah will be descended from his father through the line of King David, and will gather the Jews back into the Land of Israel, usher in an era of peace, build the Third Temple, father a male heir, re-institute the Sanhedrin, and so on. Jewish tradition alludes to two redeemers, both of whom are called mashiach and are involved in ushering in the Messianic age: Mashiach ben David; and Mashiach ben Yosef. In general, the term Messiah unqualified refers to Mashiach ben David (Messiah, son of David).
